Christmas/Yule Presents ((THNM applied as necessary))

[jumpyspringy]

A few presents had already gone in the mail, but most had been sitting hidden in Mortimer's workshop. He slipped out of bed late at night to add them to the appropriate piles.

Comments

Ali is very pleased with her gift, and will thank Mortimer appropriately.

Later.

When the kids are all in bed.

Something to Open? Ingress is intrigued, and very careful. It wouldn't do to Open the box too far. So she sets it aside for careful, quiet contemplation later; first Mortimer gets a hug. "Thank you."

[jumpyspringy]

*He hugs her in return.* You're very welcome. I'm glad you like it.

[ingress]

"It's wonderful."

Lyn isn't quite sure what to make of the big green man. Not because green bothers her, but because she doesn't know him and this is all very strange.

But it's a good strange. She looks excited just seeing the presents, and hasn't even opened any yet.

[jumpyspringy]

*He smiles at Little Lyn and lets her take all the time she wants. He's nervous around her and Little Morty and she can probably tell.*

[littleoldlyn]

She eventually starts opening presents, and is particularly fond of the dollie he's given her. "Thank you! She's beautiful."

[jumpyspringy]

You're welcome Lyn. I'm glad you like her.

*James, when he finally gets his act together enough to be the recipient of gifts will be greatly pleased with the book*
